Woke up this morning early to play 9 holes before i go to work. I work 55 hours a week so i try to squeeze in golf whenever I can. Being that Hendricks is the only PUBLIC RIP OFF in my area, I walk in to try an pay for 9 holes, its about 7:20 am. First, the " ever so happy to see you" cashier is telling me I have to wait for a 3some in 25 min to join them, ok not a big deal. Then she tells me that 9 oclock rates DONT START UNTIL 11. WHY THE HELL DOES IT MATTER WHEN I PLAY ONLY 9 HOLES?!?!! SHE TELLS ME I HAVE TO PAY FOR 18!! REALLY? MAYBE NOT ALL PEOPLE, UNDER THE AGE OF 100, DONT HAVE THE LUXURY OF WAITING UNTILL 11 TO PLAY GOLF. LET ALONE THE PRICE $$$ OF THIS POORLY MAINTAINED GOAT PATH!! This place has always given me a some sort of attitude or issue every time I go. They once charged me 25 bucks so my wife and I could ride together and MY WIFE WASNT PLAYING. THEY THINK BECAUSE THEYRE THE ONLY GIG IN TOWN, THAT THEY CAN TREAT PEOPLE LIKE THIS.

First off , as an out of county resident i paid $54 for a weekday round with cart. I am about a 14 hcp so I enjoy a nice challenging course. The course is old and pretty rough. Tee boxes are bumpy and not level. Fairways are crappy and hard. Rough is anywhere from nice grass to sparse hardpan, hard to tell which is which sometimes. Grass throughout is mixed, some lush and tight, some thin and stringy, i guess a product of many different seeds over the years. Green were in ok shape, they were very soft and lush, again spotted with different grasses. The greenskeeper is doing his job there. Really spongy when i played, could benefit from a roll, but are in far better shape than rest of the course. Greens have some contour but mostly like mini golf humps and ridges. Overall a boring muni course, nothing really great. Not worth cost. I personally wont play ever again. For me i rather play skyway in jersey city, an amazing public course.

The people here are rude and for the price you pay the noise from Belleville Ave and Franklin dont make it worth it. The Marshall in his cart was up our ass about moving slow and was really rude about it. He then proceeded to follow us and was a pest the whole time. We played on Veterans Day when we were all off of work and not looking to be rushed through our shot. I much rather play at Weequahic Golf Course. The grounds are much nicer. The staff is cool as hell and people arent up your ass when you are playing.

Shocking!!!!!!!!!! Staff unhelpful, everything was too much trouble. No food, no water even though water in vending machines but you cant buy any as they are locked. Cant have your clubs or buggy till just before you go out to play. Went out to have a pracice putt and was told that the practice green was closed. This was the straw that broke the camels back so we told them to shove it and left.

This course has been getting better and better every year. The county has put a lot of money back into the course and the grounds crew has been hard at work making improvements to tees and bunkers. Not sure what Vinny is talking about.....certainly not a goat patch and the price is right.

Its a nice county course. The course is not very challenging and is pretty wide open. The bunkers are not always in great condition. Overall its a fun course. If you have the choice to play Francis Byrne (another Essex County course), Id pay Byrne instead.

Great place! Great people! Love playing it, not sure what angry Vinny is talking about the people are friendly the conditions are excellent for the price you pay!

Great place to play! Pace was surprisingly very good! Course has come a long way over the last few years! Even the deer are friendly!

Andrew Swanson

Well maintained muni golf course. Great for beginners and low handicappers. Flat, not much trouble. No practice range.

Jay Lindsay

Enjoyed the course. Open, forgiving. Pace was slow that day but due to inexperienced players ahead. Happens though.

Evan Anderson

Good county course. Conditions could be a bit better, but overall its decent. Nice people always playing here too.

Amanuel Teklu

Good public course. Polite staff. However, the pictures are from Byrne, holes 10 and 1, not from Hendricks.

Frank Byrne

The couse was in excellent condition! Greens were very true! Course more challenging then ever!
